I just HAD to speak up on this one. Speaking of lies, jump back 10 years. Never seen a bigger liar than Obama. All the proof needed is in the executive order sealing all his information on the Fast and Furious gun scandal. His atty gen. was held in contempt for refusing to release info on that debacle.
As for me, when Clinton was POTUS, I loved him. I said it was nobody's business about his little thing with Monica. He didn't even come up with NAFTA, Bush did that for us. BUT, he signed it into law. That gave way to our invasion of Mexicans, because mega farm corporations pushed the little guy out of business, leaving about 4,000,000 folks out of work and their families needed fed. It was only after Bill was out of office that I began hearing one bad thing after another about the Clintons.
I was actually right pleased that Obama got elected. However, it didn't last long. I found myself thinking 'why on earth did he do that' on many occasions. Then came the apology tour. I just couldn't believe that one. Add to that, every time something came out about a black person and the cops, no matter what the evidence showed, Obama took the side against the cops. I believe he instigated the racial tensions that exist today, along with cop hatred.
Finally, I turned over the gun issue. We have a constitutional right to bear arms in this country. Doesn't matter when it was written, they had the same guns that the military did back then, and responsible gun owners should have what the military has today. The whole thing was to guard against tyranny. We can't do that with single shot 22 Cal rifles.
Then I heard about fast and furious. Talk about lying! I didn't like either of the Bushes either... I read his lips and we still got new taxes.
This whole hatred thing has come to a head with the e******n of Trump over Hillary. She and the Democrats r****d the primary, but the left just doesn't believe that she did the same in the big e******n. Mercy, man, it's obvious !!
Obama gave all that money to Iran ??? Said the most beautiful sound was the morning call to prayer. Did you guys on the left even know that most of our early politicians were preachers? That the great halls of congress were preached in more often than not? Did you know the two most recognized men in early America are Jefferson and Franklin? The two MOST non religious men of those times? That is done for a reason, my friend!
The whole point of separation of church and state was to prevent the state fr picking their favorite religion and making it the only one, not to stop Christianity from being practiced. s
Here's the real kicker about the hatred. I'm 65 years old and I never remember EITHER party r**ting, burning cars, breaking store windows, stopping traffic, throwing batteries at people considered conservatives, or a long list of other atrocities that has been dumped on conservatives until this e******n. Notice I didn't say Republicans. The rhinos don't even deserve mentioning.
My point is this...cool your own hatred that has given rise to giving hatred for hatred. Politics has always been a dirty game, but now it has become a deadly one, with people like Maxine Waters calling for open attacks on the opposing party staff members. Trump ain't no politician and he ain't gonna talk like one and he ain't gonna act like one, and he's done MORE for America than any POTUS I can remember. Even the NY times, who h**es Trump, says they are running out of words to describe how well the economy is doing. The core of America v**ed Trump in. Can't you guys just accept it??????????

I've never had a "warm glow" for anyone other than my wife.

And my world was created long before I ever knew about Trump.

Self preservation is my priority.

So I don't knock anyone else who has the same objective.

The bottom line is this.

With the tax cuts we received, we've been able to further enrich the lives of 'all' our employees.

And because our business circle is aware that we support Trump, we now have clients that are exclusive.

My father is one of Texas's most experienced farmers.

And he will be the first to tell you, only a dummy thinks he can make a living farming.

A successful farmer is one whose farm is not his only income.

But you know it all dimwit lefties think you can judge the world by what you watch on TV.

You really can teach an old dog a new trick.

But you can't teach a dumb democrat jack s**t.

One of the many explosive charges in the FBI affidavit seeking an indictment against accused Russian spy and influential NRA member Maria Butina is this alarming nugget:
31. On October 4, 2016, U.S. Person 1 sent an email to an acquaintance. The email covered a number of topics. Within the email, U.S. Person 1 stated, “Unrelated to specific p**********l campaigns, I’ve been involved in securing a VERY private line of communication between the Kremlin and key POLITICAL PARTY 1 leaders through, of all conduits, the [GUN RIGHTS ORGANIZATION].” Based on my training, expertise, and familiarity with this investigation, I believe that this email describes U.S. Person 1’s involvement in BUTINA’s efforts to establish a “back channel” communication for representatives of the Government of Russia.
We can presume that POLITICAL PARTY 1 is the Republican Party; that’s made clear from the rest of the document. So the question is, which “key leaders” of the Republican Party had secured a “VERY” private line of communication to the Kremlin, in October of 2016?
Person 1 specifically says it is “unrelated” to a p**********l campaign; that doesn’t leave too many other options. While figures like Dana Rohrbacher or Scott Walker may hug the NRA tightly, neither can be considered a “key party leader.” Only House leaders, Senate leaders, or top GOP party officials would fit that bill.
According to this affidavit, an unknown number of those leaders had a secure line of communications to the Kremlin in October of 2016, immediately before the e******ns. For what possible purpose? Are we going to find out who?
And do government investigators already know?

Edited to clarify that the quoted text is from an FBI affidavit against Butina filed upon her arrest, not from an ‘indictment’ against her.

There seems to be a common demoninator among the lefties here on OPP, particurlarly PeteyS, woodguru, rumitoid - ya, the clueless bunch.

You seem to have no idea that the cold war has been over since the days of Reagan and Gorbachev.

You seem to have no idea that Russia is NOT our enemy. In fact, the US government is now considered by many countries to be the worst enemy of peace on the global table.

You seem to have no idea that YOU and your silly OPINIONS do not make US foreign policy, nor are you able to let go of the reality - HILLARY DIDN'T WIN THE E******N..!!

You seem to have no idea that if Hillary had won, WE (the US) would be in a WAR right now with most of the planet, which would not bode well for you in the end.

You seem to have a real problem with this e******n meddling thing, but yet when it comes to the US meddling in other countries e******ns, I guess you're fine with that, aren't you...???

Russia didn't hack the e******n, and neither did Trump or any of his associates have anything to do with 'RUSSIAN COLLUSION'. The articles I've read indicate that the hack happened internally with the DNC (Seth Rich..??) as the verifiable download speed was too fast for an internet connection. The IP server address of the receiver was not RUSSIA..!! This is provable by internet techs, and was, but the information was ignored and swept under the rug. That 'RUSSIAN COLLUSION' story is just too juicy for the left to let go of. And no, I'm not posting the links as if you lefties are so damn smart, dig up the info yourself.

You clueless lefties seem to think you can second guess an international businessman and a ruler of a foreign country on what should be discussed during talks aimed at easing tensions between the two countries. NOT generating more tensions................ (and before you start with Trump and his bankruptcies, as you always do, you should be advised that the government CAUSED three of his bankruptcies. Ya, that's how clueless you are... You have no idea that the government permit process can do in a businessman's efforts and CAUSE a bankruptcy. How many of you on the left here on OPP ever had a business, ever had to deal with endless government red tape, ever had to deal with endless government regulation...??)

You clueless lefties seem to be okay with your doll (Hitlery) tampering with e******n process, you seem to be okay with the destruction of the US from within by your f*ggot loverboy and his homeless t****y wife, you seem to be okay with being pillaged right and left by a foreign corporation OWNING your soul literally, but yet when we get someone in office of the president that is actually TRYING to help us, what do you do....??

You vilify the very gentleman and international businessman that can do you - and this country - some good.

You clueless lefties BETTER BE DAMN glad that Trump is president. At least he has a clue how to accomplish international negotiations.. What would you do...?? ?Walk in there and slap Putin up side the head and start hollering....E******N MEDDLING...…...RUSSIAN COLLUSION...…...WARMONGER...…..???? Ya, that is really going to do some good...…….

Just in case you missed it, all this vilify RUSSIA is about the US Petrodollar. Russia IS NOT going to set idly by and watch what the IMF and World Bank have done to the US get done to them. Which, by the way, Russia, China, India, Iran, South Africa and Brazil just found a way around this problem. So, yes, the Petrodollar is going to go down, and there's nothing you lefties can do about it...….no amount of whining, no amount of fit throwing, no amount of vilifying Trump is going to change that.

Ya, you condemn him nonstop. You villify him nonstop... You ridicule him nonstop... And yet, may I ask, WHO ARE YOU...??? A bunch of worthless, poverty stricken losers, most likely in mommy and daddy's basement, who couldn't even (probably) identify which way the sun comes up in the morning - unless it was morning and the sun had just come up...

You clueless lefties would most likely walk into the US / Russia summit and start hollering.......WAR..........WAR.........WAR............!!!

Birth of the Internet

In ancient Israel, it came to pass that a trader by the name of Abraham Com did take unto himself a young wife by the name of Dot. And Dot Com was a comely woman, broad of shoulder and long of leg. Indeed, she had been called Amazon Dot Com. And she said unto Abraham, her husband, "Why doth thou travel far from town to town with thy goods when thou can trade without ever leaving thy tent?"

And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load, but simply said, "How, Dear?" And Dot replied, "I will place drums in all the towns and drums in between to send messages saying what you have for sale and they will reply telling you which hath the best price. And the sale can be made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah's Pony Stable (UPS)."

Abraham thought long and decided he would let Dot have her way with the drums. And the drums rang out and were an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had at the top price, without ever moving from his tent.

But this success did arouse envy.

A man named Maccabia did secret himself inside Abraham's drum and was accused of insider trading. And the young man did take to Dot Com's trading as doth the greedy horsefly take to camel dung. They were called Nomadic Ecclesiastical Rich Dominican Siderites, or NERDS for short.

And lo, the land was so feverish with joy at the new riches and the deafening sound of drums, that no one noticed that the real riches were going to the drum maker, one Brother William of Gates, who bought up every drum company in the land. And indeed did insist on making drums that would work only with Brother Gates' drumheads and drumsticks.

And Dot did say, "Oh, Abraham, what we have started is being taken over by others." And as Abraham looked out over the Bay of Ezekiel, or as it came to be known, "eBay," he said, "We need a name that reflects what we are," and Dot replied, "Young Ambitious Hebrew Owner Operators." "YAHOO", said Abraham.

Abraham's cousin, Joshua, being the young Gregarious Energetic Educated Kid (GEEK) that he was, soon started using Dot's drums to locate things around the countryside.

It soon became known as God's Own Official Guide to Locating Everything (GOOGLE).

And that is how it all began. It wasn't Al Gore after all!

Many pro-lifers have opposed Roe vs. Wade in that it cites a constitutional right to privacy that was that was never found before. I maintain that there is a constitutional right to privacy due to the Ninth & Tenth Amendments.

These are the two amendments in their entirety:
Ninth - The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Tenth - The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

From these two amendments, it is obvious that the Founders envisioned an entire constellation of personal rights that would devolve to the people and the states, governed and protected as they saw fit. The people had spoken and determined that a******n would be illegal as determined by their legislatures.

Roe vs. Wade was an unconstitutional assault on the rights of the people and their legislatures.

The Treasury Department prints a sheet of bills the paper and ink cost $65. The Treasury Department sells the bills to the Federal Reserve for $65. It doesn't matter if they are ones or one hundreds it's still $65. The Federal Reserve sells them back to the Treasury Department for full face value plus interest. So what are we waiting for lets round up these banksters and their political mob, charge them with crimes against mankind. Since they have profited from both sides of every war since the French Revolution. After they are hung we will collect their ill gotten gain, pay the national debt. What's left we will throw a party Trump would have a hard time beating. So where ya want to meet up at?
